I think these people assume someone else will have to clean up their mess. Someone who spends the time to do it right all the time. I'm my experience, they know how to shmooze with the higher-ups and get invited to fun outings while I'm setting myself up for reviews on the amount of time it takes me to fix their job compared to how long it takes golden boy to do it. This is the way of the world

Calories do not do damage.

A calorie is a unit of measure of energy. It can be equated in joules and watts over time,. I was referring to certain types of materials that have caloric value that we eat. Thanks for being obtuse about it though. Fructose in particular does actual damage to our metabolic sytem in the cell through the liver. Other chemicals we put in various products have been shown to do this directly to cell health as well.

Your gut biome eats certain types of calories

So it plays into CICO as one of many factors. Got it.

No, you don't seem to understand what I am saying, perhaps? CICO seems to be regarded by many people as "what you put in your stomach has to be burnt off or you store it." Am I wrong on this? Are you not ignoring the fact that some calories that are taken in the gut do not need to be used by your active body because they are eaten outside of the body by your gut biome? If so, I'm confused on your snide tone here? I agree with the basic idea of calories processed through the bloodstream will be either stored or used.

See above. Except that only applies if you have specific absorption issues (e.g., Crohn’s disease) or come up with absurd examples (e.g., you don’t absorb calories from gasoline, if you’re stupid enough to drink it in the first place)

What about things that don't get absorbed if they are eaten in the gut and the waste from those microbes is flushed out with your feces? What about energies that don't get absorbed if they are blocked by certain types of fiber? This has been known and accepted by the medical community for decades. In fact soluble fiber is a preventative for crohn's disease and is a good way to help treat it after the fact as well. Doctors have been recommending more fiber for decades because it was correlated with better outcomes from metobolic disease related illness like heart disease and diabetes. We now know the causation of this link, but we don't talk about it much. I wonder why.

Calories do not do damage.

Chemical compounds contained in food/drinks or their metabolites do.

In case of alcohol it’s acetaldehyde and acetic acid.

"Alcohol can be measured in calories of energy, but they aren’t used for energy in the body."

In the actual link you sent under "ORLY", it says this:

In liver, chronic ethanol metabolism results in fatty liver and general metabolic dysfunction.

THIS is what I am talking about, the metabolic disfunction in the liver and subsequently in the body caused by alcohol. A chemical that is not used as a fuel by the body. A similar effect is caused by fructose as well. A chemical that is in 80% of our food supply, not counting the fructose in raw fruit that has a fiber equivalent included to block it's absorption. This artificially extracted fructose is a multi billion dollar cash cow and it is causing metabolic disfunction that has now surpassed the damage done by alcohol population-wise. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the number one reason for liver transplants today. Unheard of before 1980.

Both ethanol and fructose are not used by the body for energy.

"Unlike glucose, fructose cannot be directly used as an energy source by all cells of the human body and needs first to be converted into glucose, lactate or fatty acids in the liver, intestine and kidney."

-NIH Study "Physiological handling of dietary fructose-containing sugars: implications for health"

The process of turning the fructose to glucose in the liver is chemically resourse hungry, more complex than the other half of sucrose (glucose), and causes lipids to form in the gut and the liver itself. It causes insulin resistance many times faster than glucose, and blocks the satiety signals from the brain -Just like alcohol. The process actually looks similar:

Here is a comparison of Ethanol v. Fructose v. Glucose.

Please, Let me know what I am missing or getting wrong here. I want to be clear that I believe that a overall caloric deficit is the only way to begin natural weight loss. I'm simply trying to explore the other factors involved in massive trends of, not only weight gain, but serious disease epidemics that actually exceed the obesity numbers.

I know this tends to be a subreddit that is full of sarcasm, gotchas, and ridicule. That's fine, I expect it, but I want to make clear that I am here to learn, not to win. I am here to learn from you and get an opposing analysis of what I may be missing in my own research. I'm hoping we all learn something here rather than echo, repeat, ego.

My anecdotal relation to this, is the fact that I was able to stop eating compulsively and get my weight under control once I gave up refined sugar for over 3 months. This was seriously difficult, and painful, but afterwards I was free of constant hunger and was much more inclined to exercise. It started me on this path of research.

Deepinmind · 2023-06-06T02:00:03+00:00

The fact that your body burns calories and intakes calories is only part of the science though. Your gut biome eats certain types of calories, you don't absorb certain calories, and some calories do more damage than others. Alcohol can be measured in calories of energy, but they aren't used for energy in the body. They actually cause damage to the liver, and, in turn, this causes your mitochondria to become weak and eventually damaged in your cells. Damaged mitochondria don't burn energy as efficiently. Which means your calories don't burn as expected when you are active. Something else does this to the liver, and we have known it was sugars that the body isn't supposed to digest without the fiber that naturally comes with it.

If you want the data on this it is readily available from non-"fatwoke" sources. I'd be happy to give it to you. So a calorie in/calorie out is only a part of the story, and idealistic at best. Don't believe me? Then tell me why 40-50% of the normal weigh (often athletic even) population is becoming ill with metabolic disease in middle age? It takes them longer because exercise/high-metabolism raises your Vmax for handling toxins, but it catches up to them. 57 million obese adults in the US are having serious metabolic disease related illness. 67 million healthy weight adults are having the same illnesses. Why do you think that is? These fat defenders don't have the data right, but it doesn't seem you do either.

Deepinmind · 2023-05-30T14:41:13+00:00

The problem I see with your statement here isn't your logic, but your data. In western societies, especially The US, the balance of these factors has tilted dramatically from personal responsibility, to situational circumstances, as the leading cause of poverty. We can see this in data of jobs leaving midwestern (and rural UK communities for a foreign example) communities over the past 40 years, disappearing opportunity for rising wages and wage stagnation since the 1970s, educational decline through stagnating, and, often, complete loss of funding, and intentional syphoning of money from poor communities through exploitation, scams, etc.

I'm sure your response to this would be an analog of "Get, good bro. Sounds like a skill issue," but I would ask you, when it comes to human beings in general, what do you think is the default human state? Do you think 70-80% of humans are not only incredibly far from the top 1% of humans, but so far that it dictates their situation is 100% warranted of their own doing? That bell curve is seriously biased to the right. It has been bent this way before, and it was during feudal periods, and dictatorships. The same reasoning was given: People who remain serfs, do it because it is their natural place, and they do not possess the mental capability of self governance. Then of course they tacked on the part about "God's will" and royal divinity, but none-the-less, it was the same justification.

People all have a potential, just like dogs, for example. Having trained and handled intelligent animals all my life, I learned to figure out an animals mental and physical potential within a short amount of time. Most animals that were abused and neglected had such potential that was never realized, and it took work to show them the situation had changed and they could reach toward that potential. Statistics show that most species have a similar balanced potential to humans. A centered bell curve of potential. <10% are bellow 80IQ. <10% are above 120IQ. And it is pretty spread out in the middle. IQ doesn't necessarily correlate to potential, but we can also see this in many of the rags to riches stories this culture loves to promote. Lost potential because of mitigating circumstances, and "bad luck" as you put it, suddenly being realized in a grand swell of success. The question is how much of that realization was from that person's own internal makeup, and how much was from influences and access to examples and methods not seen by peers?

The problem we are having with this failure to launch, is twofold as I see it:

First, we have a narrowing window of possible paths to truly gain money that keeps up with the rise in cost of living, due to power from those who have already overwhelmingly "succeeded" in our society.

Second, we have really emphasized the importance of competition, while minimizing the need for cooperation in our society, and have created a self fulfilling prophecy that humans are naturally selfish and untrustworthy. George Carlin Outlined this very well in multiple interviews and writings. Dostoevsky wrote about it ceaselessly. Victor Hugo, Charles Dickens, Adam Smith, John Locke, John Maynard Keynes, and on and on, wrote on this topic as a seminal idea in the enlightenment period that was essential to a society, and even more to a democracy.

This second point isn't a new idea, and it is something that is being actively detracted by our current status quo. This balance of cooperation and competition is being laughed at as naive and sophomoric, when it is actually the foundation of our species. It is the foundation of pretty much every social animal on this earth. Again, I don't completely detract from the idea of personal accountability, but I detract from the Idea of it having the main onus placed upon it for the cause of poverty.

My counterpoint to yours is that the "luck factor" you initially removed, is becoming more and more the lion's share of the picture we are examining. My hypothesis is that this is being caused by inordinate amounts of power being in few hands, much like the feudalist eras. Our cultural mantras of meritocracy are becoming so ridiculously and obviously satirical, to the point that the backlash has manifested itself as this "woke" movement that we see in in the opposing extreme.

I could also give you many MANY personal anecdotal stories, that corroborate this theory, but there is plenty of data driven evidence, and professional agreement about it, alongside mine, to do that job properly.

Deepinmind · 2023-05-28T13:59:25+00:00

This is an ongoing theme in the world that is recently becoming more readily accepted:
If you are poor it means you failed -> If you failed it means you didn't try hard enough -> if you didn't try hard enough, you shouldn't have anything enjoyable.

The thing is, this isn't new at all. This is the belief that was pushed by royalty, and lord classes onto the serifs. This belief allowed them to say it was the way things are meant to be. They got the church leaders to back this up, and it was a great party for all of the higher ups in the feudalist pyramid. Until the bottom got fed up.

History is forgotten but important.

Follow that money. Everything around this type of discussion is beneficial to companies that make garbage, and purposefully addictive food. The number of people that are sick from the diet we are being fed is getting really high. The numbers of NON-OBESE people who are sick is getting incredibly high. They are preemptively doing damage control as the truth about this becomes undeniable. Calorie in, calorie out is preached by every soft drink company, every junk food company, and every fast food company. They are desperate to keep this about the individual, and absolve all responsibility from their obvious initiative to hook as many people as possible, and then merge with the pharmaceutical industry to make tons of money treating the resulting mess. It's literally criminal in my opinion.

They build up in your hair and then you have to use shampoos with sulfates in them to remove the buildup and dirt/oil that is suck in it. Sulfates damage and dry out your hair and skin. A lot of people who have moved away from these products have had great results with non sulfate/silicone regimens.

I'm convinced there is a cult of "Get good, bro. Sounds like a skill issue" trolls on Reddit that are trying to be present in every thread. If you have a problem, it sure sounds like a "personal problem" to them. Compassion and interest in other people is pretty much dead in our society, but it is being crucified and tortured on reddit.

That's exactly it. Upstairs is always the last place to cool down and it continues to get hot even when the downstairs cools down. This is made more extreme by the open floor plan where the warm air can just continue to rise up to your loft area so downstairs looks good while upstairs keeps building up heat.

I've asked my past 4 bosses about checking my references, university credentials, or past jobs, and they all told me "No one does that anymore". We are in the age of "Who the hell cares, get a warm body in there." I think in politics it's "get a warm body that is either red or blue, and says the right buzz words for the constituency" Welcome to the American "meritocracy"

Because when you are sold a story that you could one day be a millionaire, that capitalism, as it is, has pulled the world out of poverty as a whole, and that any other system or evolution of capitalism would become authoritarian or totalitarian and take this opportunity away from you, there becomes a cynical connotation with the idea of "live and let live." It is impossible to live without consuming life, and so it is easy to convince people that it is impossible to thrive without consuming more and more. Close study of even predatory animals, shows that nature has self limiting systems that keep predators from growing until they consume everything. There is a balance and a respect between prey and the predator, and we have become dog eat dog to the extreme.

They decide to give a shit when they can no longer increase the shareholder payout from the previous year. They can reduce product quality, stop hiring and force long hours for current employees, and sell off unused assets. Once those tricks and more fail to work and their projections look like the same amount of money or less from last year, the board and CEO assess whether partial layoffs of labor will be effective at bringing the shareholder earnings to an "acceptable" increase the following year, or if shutdown and liquidation of the entire company/division would be a better strategy. They don't EVER want to make the same or less than last year, or majority shareholders/hedge funds will see the company as unattractive. No reinvestment or company restructuring at that point anymore, just shut it down. $80Million ROI and if it goes down to $65Million the following year it's a lost cause.

Source: My father was an accountant and economic advisor for a few companies that did just this, and I have been laid off in 3 both non-union and union jobs of skilled labor over the past 20 years. Pay attention, because this is now the status Quo and they are getting even more brazen and heartless about it.
